Anyone else having this problem? Most of the Eastern conference playoff games on NBCSN have been blacked out. The Pitt/Isles game tonight for example. They have some random filler re-run playing instead of the game. The Western conference games on that channel are never blacked out, and the CNBC games broadcast fine. I live in central Massachusetts and have Charter cable. Makes no sense. The only time I have seen games blacked out on that channel previously were Bruins games that NESN also had broadcast rights to.

Worcester. Every Wash/NYR after game 1 has been blacked out for me on that channel. and I think every single Pitt/Isles game so far. I am stuck watching this game via some crap quality stream with broken sound online.

Not a huge deal as long as the Bruins games air per usual. :p I am mainly just curious why they are being blacked out in the first place. They are not local games, and I don't get whatever local NY/Pitt/Wash local channel that may also have broadcast rights to the game. Never once was a regular season game on NBCS blacked out. So why the playoff games?

Here in this cesspool of south florida, all the playoff games have been broadcasted. When NBC has three games going at once they use CNBC. I can't complain this year.. Seems like its been forever since all the playoff games are broadcasted..
